I've just returned to the welcoming bosom of The Manor so will be an armchair expert today.

I confidently predict a minimum 6 goal victory which I shall celebrate with the maid.

    Head says we should win by 6-7 goals, MFCSS says we lose,  cop a couple of injuries and McCartin kicks a bag.

    Was that the great oracle Richard Head?

    Is it every time we are on TV we tend to lose?

    Or every time I switch on the radio the opposition kicks a goal? And then think it’s my fault for listening!

    I thought it was only me...

    Hunt practising torps out of the goal square. Most carried about 70m, right up the middle. His last one hit the egde of the centre circle so closer to 80m

    Now trying torps at the goals from his favourite pocket. Nailed one of them. All the rest were all over the place... ?

    Trac is warming up

    The media are waiting for us to stuff up today. Some said yesterday imagine if Melbourne drop the game tomorrow. This is a game we all know we should win and win well but not at all surprised if we drop it. 

    I just hope we are past that stage. Today we need to to and win well. Get that percentage up and get a 2 game buffer on the teams below us. 

    Cannot wait. I expect Maxy to dominate the ruck and our midfield to be to strong. 

    Carlton are now irrelevant and done as a topic. Saints had their turn this week. North have come good. Dees go down today and we're the story next week. If we win it'll be tommy Hawkins touching the umpires that will be next weeks SEN fodder that lets us off the hook and the goal review system.

    Hawkins little brush of the hand will be a major talking point along with score review but there always has to be a team the media has to focus on that is down and out/done/discraceful/need to have a long good hard look at themselves etc.

    You are right we are definitely right there ready to be the whipping boys for another week if we lose. If we win I reckon it might be Freo looking like a huge loss along with all their other drama at the moment.

    Really dislike having to wait for the 3.20 game on a Sunday – not a fan.

    Hunt should try hitting a target from 30 instead.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
